XD4 Plus media bridge mode

[Chippy_boy]

Hi - quick question - is anyone using the XD4 Plus as a media bridge? And if so is it stable? Good experience?

I’m currently using an XT8 in bridge mode, connecting to an Orbi WiFi mesh to provide Ethernet connectivity to a Sky Q Mini box. (I don’t use Sky’s WiFi - I connect my Sky boxes over Ethernet and/or my Orbi WiFi mesh).

It works all day but then at 02:30 every morning it drops the Ethernet connection for about 45 seconds, which messes up multicast traffic to the Sky mini so in the morning I get no picture. It happens like clockwork every day so is quite annoying. I’m hoping perhaps the XD4 may not do this.

Just to add, this is what's happening at 02:30 in the morning, every morning!
